Has anyone tried the Jarrows "Bone Up" Supplement which includes MK-7? Does anyone see a reason to buy that over this?

While I have not and would not use the "Bone Up" formula, neither would I recommend purchasing Jarrow's MK-7. The "Bone-Up" formula not only has a small amount of MK-7, but the calcium source is not really very good and you have to take from 3-9 (depending on the formula) capsules/tablets a day. My personal commendation would be to get a good Calcium/D3 combo that provides at least 1,000 mg/IUs that you take 1 tablet once or twice a day. I use a Citracal formula, but you need to look for calcium citrate or calcium carbonate as they are more easily absorbed. If you want to take MK-7, you should know that it is important the manufacturer uses a quality "carrier" oil such as olive oil. The Jarrow brand uses evening primrose oil and soybean oil, which do not bind with MK-7 sufficiently. I'm speaking from experience. When I first started using MK-7, I used the Nutrigold brand. It was out of stock when I needed to re-order, so I ordered the Jarrow brand. I noticed the difference within a week. I now use Life Extension's Super K formula. Both the Nutrigold and Life Extension use olive oil as the carrier, both are currently in stock, and you take only one capsule daily. I'm sorry my answer is so long, but I believe in clarifying the reasons I have for saying yes or no on a product. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Good luck.

It states it is MK-4. In supplement form virtually all K2, MK-4 is synthetic. Synthetic K2, MK-4 has a VERY short Half Life of only 8 hours, where as K2, MK-7 is derived from Soy Natto, a natural product and K2, MK-7 also has a Half Life of about 72 hours, so it has a much better length of time to work in your body!

Hello, Do not listen to them that Supplements do not work or are not needed. Proof is in the pudding, in your case it is MSM ingredients, be it this particular product, or any other that contain MSM. Why are you taking this product ?. Find the answer after you start taking it, is it helping you with your situation or pain !. If it does then do not listen to the experts on everything that supplement do not work. They do but you need to buy from a reputable company on Amazon, along with others reviews very important to way other's opinion from their experiences . I listen to those who attack the supplements and I smile and laugh at them, not all supplement you will be able to see or know the result 100% but yet I take them anyway for instance Resvertroll supplement you really can not tell if it works, but I take it on faith. Another supplement that I know with my eyes closed that has a 100% protection for me is Vitamin C 1000 mg I take 6000 a day 2 morning, 2 launch, 2 bed time, along with Vitamin D 20,000 a day 10,000 morning, 5,000 at launch, and 5,000 bed time. I do not catch cold at all and if I feel something is wrong in the system, I i-m-m-e-d-i-a-t-e-l-y take more of both. And many other supplements that I take on a regular bases, so watch your own system, and must decide for yourself as what works for you. Stay away from CANCER by not eating killed animals , and start educating your self, you have the Internet ask questions and will receive answers.

Sorry I have never used either product . I do use Jarrow products and they are great. Reading the info for the product it says that this is a more absorbable CoQ10 so I would say yes.

Plus... since this particular brand of Mastic Gum by Jarrows' is not sold here locally I always purchase mine here @ Amazon ... but as I stated in my previous post, this product has really helped me. After taking this product two to three weeks I felt so much better! I hope this helps you! Happy Holidays! http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Mastic-Personal-Healthcare/dp/B00EXPYP5E/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386639983&sr;=1-4&keywords;=jarrows+mastic+gum

I may not be the best case for evaluating the oil. I suffer from arthritis and am always looking for something to relieve my symptoms. I am trying to get back into golf after right hip replacement but seem to aching all over now. I cannot afford to invest in unproven supplements and need to avoid the high cost ones like Ruby oil.

Yes. Incomprehensible why Thorne's label doesn't shout it big: MK4! since the most important form of essential-to-consume Vitamin K2 & harder to obtain than Mk7!

I have only been using it for less than a month and am already feeling a difference. Maybe the little changes are more noticable to someone like me who is more out of shape. They effects of Shakeology build upon themselves week after week. Many people for instance have their cholesterol drop considerably after only 3 months of drinking shakeology. Either way , Beachbody has a money back guarantee. If they did not believe in their product, I don't imagine they would offer to take back an empty bag and return your money. If this was not for you, it does not make it a scam. I hope you find something that you are happy with :o)

I don't know. It is not listed in their literature, but I would recommend you contact them direct at: info@jarrow.com.

I don't have this but I went to Nature Made's website. It contains 100 micrograms of vitamin K (K2 - mk7) and some fillers. No calcium.

I've tried CosiminD, knox joint powder, a Costco brand, instaflex and a couple others. The ultra bone up had a great independent rating so I tried it. Had joint pain relif in 3 weeks and has worked great. (Stopped once and the pain came back in a week)

My only thought is that the B6 was not necessary in the formula to promote bone growth and retention. I have taken these vitamins for a couple of years and even at my age, my bone density is improving, not just maintaining. I believe that you should direct your question to the company who produces this product.

This stuff did absolutely nothing for me and I gave it only 1 star in my review last year. Everyone is different, of course, sojust because it didn't work for me doesn't mean it won't be effective for someone else. Personally, I'd recommend looking for a supplement that combines guarana, kola nut, B- vitamins and catuaba; Swanson Vitamins makes a supplement like that. But I've found that energy shots like 5-Hour energy, Red Rain, Rock On, etc. work better for me than anything else as far as increasing mental energy and clarity goes. They take about 10 minutes to kick in, don't cause any jitters and last 5 hours or more. This stuff did absolutely nothing for me and I gave it only 1 star in my review last year.

Adrian, muscle recovery and muscle building are the same thing. HMB is a metabolite of Leucine that helps to prevent muscle breakdown and increase protein synthesis. You probably wouldn't notice a difference unless you push your body to the limit several workouts a week prepping for a contest or trying to lose a lot of weight. I still take it in the off season bc it's only a dollar a day and has research to slightly increase muscle gain and to have a synergistic effect with creatine

First...lifting weights is better for bone density, period. Resistance exercise is known to increase bone density. As for the difference between the two: both contain collagen. The Amino formula also contains certain additional amino acids that supports tasks of mental functioning and the GI system. You could make the Amino formula yourself on a 'per dose' way by adding Carnitine, L-Glutamine and Inositol. When I was waiting for the Amino formula to become available, I added L-Glutamine, Phosphatidyl Serine and MAP -- and got the same kind of concentration that I get just drinking down a serving of these. Gelatin could mean anything and sourced from anything, anywhere. Friedlander's collagen is sourced from grassfed European stock (steers). No growth hormone is the norm in Europe. And, it is a special low molecular weight collagen that is readily absorbed. I see no reason to use anything else while Dr. Friedlander is still making this. There is nothing that comes close to this in absorbability and efficacy. Remember, it is a FOOD, not a drug or a supplement. It feeds your connective tissue, nails, hair and skin, just to name a few. ---

They both have the saccharomyces boulardii but I personally have never tried this product, so you might address the question to Nutricology as to which product has a feature over the other or why the 2 formulas. Let us know via Amazon!Actually just saw the answer posted...Personally a very knowledgeable Health Food Store Owner in Redwood CityCa,David Stouder, who has a radio show had recommended both Jarrow and Nutricology's SB. which has been in our "arsenal" for years and is tried and tested for us!MLG
